Answer:

x = 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept looks like (x, 0); the coordinate 0 indicates that the point lies on the x-axis. If we start with 4/5x + 1/3 y= 1 and let y = 0, we will get an equation for the x-intercept:

(4/5)x + (1/3)(0) =1

Then 4/5x = 1, and (5/4)(4/5)x = (1)(4/5).

Thus, x = 4/5, and the x-intercept is (4/5, 0).

a random sample of 4 claims are selected from a lot of 12 that has 3 nonconforming units. using the hypergeometric distribution

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The probability that the sample will contain exactly 0 nonconforming units is P=0.25.

The probability that the sample will contain exactly 1 nonconforming units is P=0.51.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a sample of size n=4, taken out of a lot of N=12 units, where K=3 are non-conforming units.

We can write the probability mass function as:

$P(x=k)=\frac{\binom{K}{k}\binom{N-K}{n-k}}{\binom{N}{n}}$

where k is the number of non-conforming units on the sample of n=4.

We can calculate the probability of getting no non-conforming units (k=0) as:

$P(x=0)=\frac{\binom{3}{0}\binom{9}{4}}{\binom{12}{4}}=\frac{1*126}{495}=\frac{126}{495} = 0.25$

We can calculate the probability of getting one non-conforming units (k=1) as:

$P(x=1)=\frac{\binom{3}{1}\binom{9}{3}}{\binom{12}{4}}=\frac{3*84}{495}=\frac{252}{495} = 0.51$

The feet of the average adult woman are 24.6 cm long, and foot lengths are normally distributed. If 16% of adult women have feet

nevsk [136]

Answer:

Approximately 16% of adult women have feet longer than 27.2 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The feet of the average adult woman are 24.6 cm long

This means that $\mu = 24.6$
